But it seems you've neglected the issue of passing the result of the AppleScript to the shell. All the & myFile does is add the literal "myFile" onto the location of the shell script. That's not right!

Apple historically has Macintosh HD with a space whereas bash uses spaces to indicate a new variable - if your code doesn't expect, test and handle spaces - sticking to AppleScript to handle file might be easier. | |
